re: DOJ indicted four members of African Socialist Party as Russian agents for free speech.

The west has lost the war for Africa because China and Russia have produced more incentives and infrastructure in return for the raw material extraction. The west has tried to buy political institutions for much cheaper then wave its hands in surprise when that money doesn't tricked down.

Also in the past they brought in military forces to fight off the regular population being ripped off (and protecing the paid off elites) labeling them terrorists. Now Russia and China are bringing in more forces to help protect the countries (from western special forces and/or paid proxies) who chose to do business instead with Brics.

Maybe instead of huffing puffin and foot stomping the west should change its strategy and offer real incentives in return that is good for the every day Africans.
